Brief Description:
Join us for a easy 3.6 mile loop hike around Indian
Boundary Lake. The lake is picturesque and the view of Flats
Mountain is very scenic. The trail is almost flat with very little
elevation change. We will share the trail with bikes which have the
right of way. This is a joint hike of the Cherokee and Hiwassee
Hiking Clubs.

Directions to Trail Head: Meet at Comcast in Athens ready to
leave at 1:30. Cherokee hikers may meet us in Athens or at Hardees
in Tellico Plains at 2:15. As you enter Indian Boundary, stay on
the road to the left, pass the primitive camping area, bear right
until you reach the boat ramp parking area. Rest rooms are
available in the primitive camping area. The parking lot is a
non-fee area.

Leaders: Effaleda & Bob Lee 423-568-2501, cell 423-507-5582

Post Trip Report: Three joint
members of the Hiwassee and Cherokee Hiking Clubs and four guests
consisting of a mother and her three children enjoyed a pleasant walk
around the lake on a very warm day. The two youngest children cooled off
at the end of the trip by getting in the water. No bicyclists and very
few hikers were met on the trail. Mountain laurel along the trail was in
full bloom. We heard thunder near the end of the hike and ran into a
hard rain on the way home. It was great having the family hike with us
and hope to see them on future hikes. Members present were Effaleda and
Bob Lee and Jane Bohannon. The guests were from Sweetwater.
